My dogs ate two small grapes each (about 6g per grape). It was at night and no vets were available and I couldn't induce vomiting. Neither have shown any symptoms of poisoning and slept well it's been over 12 hours ago. I gave each about 1 gram of Activated Charcoal this morning (after buying some) in hopes that it would bind with any toxins. The one is a 28 lbs female Dachshund (4,5 yo) and the other is a puppy, 7,7 lbs female Jack Russell Terrier (4 months old). What are their chances?

There is no known safe amount of grapes for dogs to eat. There is always a possibility of kidney failure. The (major) problem with treating these guys is that you don't know if it's going to cause kidney failure until it's too late. They don't act different or ill until they are life threateningly ill. The only way to treat them is to go to the clinic and then keep them on IV fluids for a day or two. And some dogs can eat grapes without any problems. We just don't know how each individual will react. So I know that's not the most helpful answer, but that's the more accurate one we have. You can chance it and do nothing and there is a good chance everything will be fine, or you can take them to the clinic immediately for hospitalization. Good luck!
